France, UK, Germany Envoys Meet Russian Deputy Minister in Moscow Amid Renewed Ukraine Peace Push
The talks followed a London summit as European leaders sought a coordinated push for peace negotiations in Ukraine, Bloomberg sources said.
- On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the ambassadors of Britain, France, and Germany met with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin in Moscow to discuss ending the four-year war in Ukraine.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer, President Emmanuel Macron, and Chancellor Friedrich Merz backed direct dialogue during a London summit, setting the stage for this diplomatic engagement.
- Accusing the envoys of prolonging the conflict, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov questioned whether their leadership could propose any "constructive thoughts" on peace, while officials cited "destructive" policies.
- The Kremlin dismissed the European Union as a mediator, with officials claiming the leadership in Kyiv is not ready for compromises and rejecting face-to-face talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
- Seeking a unified approach, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called for a single representative to lead negotiations, though the administration of President Donald Trump has historically been the preferred partner.
